Talks of a 300-run innings in a 20-over game have long circulated among cricket enthusiasts. And in the second match of the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), the milestone came within touching distance—courtesy of none other than Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Pat Cummins' side had recorded the highest team total in IPL 2024 after scoring 287 for 3 in 20 overs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who previously held the record with 263 for 5.
On March 23, 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad bettered their previous second highest team total of 277 for 3 (against Mumbai Indians) by posting 286 for 6 against Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2025 opener at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
